Network onboarding
Gordon Foodservice Canada (via iTrade) is routed through iTrade
Stacksync maintains a certified iTrade connection covering 3 trading partners across 3 channels. Onboarding with Gordon Food Service on this channel reuses that connection — no separate VAN contract or certification cycle.
iTrade is the common short name for iTradeNetwork, the perishables-focused supply chain network for the food and beverage industry. Trading relationships recorded under this name run on the same iTradeNetwork platform that connects grower-shippers, manufacturers, and distributors with foodservice operators and grocery retailers, carrying purchase orders, acknowledgments, ship notices, and invoices between buyers and suppliers.
Connecting via iTrade
- A sponsoring buyer on iTradeNetwork initiates the connection; the supplier sets up an account and receives iTN's EDI specifications for the required documents.
- Establish connectivity; iTrade's EDI appendix defines AS2, FTP, HTTP, and VAN connections.
- Map order, shipment, and invoice data to iTN specifications for the required transaction sets (850, 855, 856, and 810 as applicable).
- Exchange test documents, with compliance checking and functional acknowledgments, until the buyer approves production.
Testing: Same regime as iTradeNetwork: no published formal certification program. The vendor's EDI appendix defines compliance checking against specifications and functional acknowledgments, and suppliers validate each document type with their sponsoring buyer before production.
Timeline: No public setup timeline. Duration depends on the sponsoring buyer's document requirements and testing scope; mapped integrations take longer than portal-based trading.
